Rohit Agarwal 9883248954 Method III: Recording of all transactions by one of the Co-Venturers. There is no difference in Method II & Method III. Method II was like passing entries in books of A & B and Method III is like passing entries in the books of A or B only, the entries being exactly same. Method IV: Memorandum Joint Venture Account Method. Under this method, each co-venturer records those transactions with which he is concerned. He does not record any transactions of his co-venturers. Generally the following accounts are maintained: 1. Joint Venture with ____ A/c, which is personal account in nature, records the transaction of a coventurer. 2. Memorandum Joint Venture Account: As soon as the venture comes to end, profit or loss is to be shared. So all the information is then pooled into a newly opened account named Memorandum Joint Venture Account. Since this account is not a part and parcel of double entry system, therefore to distinguish this account from other ledger accounts, the word memorandum is prefixed. It is nearly the combination of personal accounts, i.e. debit side of Joint Venture with other co-venturers is posted to the debit side of Memorandum Joint Venture Account and vice-versa. Thus profit or loss is determined.
